I just had a business trip to Shanghai, Beijing, and Suzhou, and my clients ask me to purchase the high speed rain ticket from Shanghai to Beijing, and from Beijing to Suzhou, because they want to feel how the high speed train of China because that is the very well known in the world.
I got some experience for purchasing the train ticket and I would like to list below:
The train ticket is very limited and many people want to purchase, so you have better purchase the train ticket online at least 3 days before the departure date to avoid the possible sold out of the ticket.
If you want to purchase the train ticket for your foreign clients on the English Version of ctrip.com, then you need to ask following information of your clients:
Their passport number
Their name shown on the passport.
If you want to purchase rain ticket for the your foreign clients on the Chinese version of ctrip.com, then you need to ask the following information from your clients:
Their passport number.
Their name shown on the passport.
Their date of birth.
You can pick up your train ticket from the ticket taking machine of rain station if you are Chinese citizen and use your Chinese national to purchase the rain ticket. However, you only can pick up the train ticket on the ticket office if you purchase the train ticket by entering your or your client’s passport information.
You need to come to ticket office to pick up the train ticket then is much more better you can come to the train station a little bit earlier ( at least one and half hour before the departure time) because you need to spend the time for line up, sometime it cause you so much time for line up.
Please keep your train ticket even you had already get on the train, because the train station of the destination need you to show the train ticket after you arrive the destination.
Most of the high speed train runs 350 Kilometer per hour, and is fast, comfortable and stable.
